Fun fact: This buzzy Sundance dinner-party comedy from Olivia Wilde, which also stars Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton, is by my count the seventh remake of the 2020 Spanish film Sentimental, which has already gotten versions in Italy, Switzerland, France, Russia, the Czech Republic, and South Korea.

There’s every reason to be concerned about a new adaptation of one of our greatest works of national mythology, but this version is the best family-friendly Netflix series since The Baby-Sitters Club. Pa is hot, the prairie is unforgiving, and the series is part Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, part Killers of the Flower Moon. —Kathryn VanArendonk
➽ The intent, a Little House producer tells us, “is to face the problematic nature of the historical text head-on.”

The Elin Hilderbrand cottage industry gains another bit of real estate. Jennifer Garner is Hollis Shaw, a famous cook and blogger who gathers a crew of friends after a family tragedy. The casting of said friends is a major reason to watch. They’re played by D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, and Chloë Sevigny. —Roxana Hadadi

Some reality shows operate like a cozy sweater, so familiar they are in their antics and rhythms. This one refuses to stay too comfortable; this is fashion, after all. With its return last year, the series shook things up with new challenges and Law Roach’s brusque judging style. Now there’s another twist: 22 competitors, the most ever. —R.H.

One of David Lynch’s most poignant films — and only the second feature he ever directed — has a fresh new physical release this week courtesy of the Criterion Collection. The Elephant Man is the true story of the bond between a doctor in Victorian England and a freak-show performer who was born with facial deformities. Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt star in Lynch’s tender, tragic, black-and-white epic. Criterion has loaded the disc with a raft of director-approved special features, a 4K digital restoration with uncompressed stereo sound, and documentaries that dig into both Joseph Merrick, the real-life “Elephant Man,” and the making of Lynch’s film. —Eric Vilas-Boas
